Thursday
Took GE Lighting and some of Rexel Electrical Distributors customers out for a day of offshore fishing. Also had Alby Man (Kevin) mating for me which was great to fish with Kevin again. It was a little bumpy in the AM and made for tough fishing. Find a small line of grass and start picking away a nice Gaffer dolphin. Then find a nice stump in the water and lines start popping. Gaffers jumping everywhere. We get 5 out of 8. Troll around the area and pick up a few more. Keep working the area before moving inside to some calmer waters. Seas slicked out and we catch some more for about 250#'s of Gaffer dolphin Meat.
Friday
Had the Wayne Enroughty and customers out for their annual excursion. Headed out to look for the edge on the 650 area and found some temp breaks and scattered grass. Lines out and start trolling looking for something more organized.
As we are trolling the Left long pops and starts taking line consistently. Did not see the bite, but had a feeling due to the way it was swimming away and staying high on the water. Lines cleared start backing down. Get to about 100 feet to see a Blue Marlin. Back we go in a hurry. Crank swivel hits the tip and the fish sees us and starts moving out fast. Gets two jumps and snap. About 400# and the guys got a picture for Ross first Blue Marlin. As we are trolling to the 650 area where there was a tuna bite. We have a White Marlin come and nail the left short rigger. Missed and after several circles continue South. Get to the 650 area and see 6 Green Stickers and a couple boats hooked up. We troll around the slicks to get one nice 35# YFT. Move back North and work some of the rips for more action. Well we find it. Gaffers popping pins consistently. Then near the end of the day trolling down a nice line see a pallet out of the corner of my eye while talking with Wayne and tell Kevin (Alby Man) to be ready on the right side. Well here it comes, a huge Bull on the Sea Star down the middle and his harem. He comes out of the water and everyone freezes. It was big and we have 20#er's jumping around on other lines. Setup for 30 minutes of chaos to get 5 fish to the boat and a 52# gaffer by Ross. Find the pallet and get a couple more to finish the day. Had 14 gaffers, 1 YFT and a Blue Release which Ross went swimming.
Still have openings for later this month.
